Toad in the hole
We are still trying to eat our way through our egg mountain so recently we made toad in the hole. Sadly, it only used up 2 small eggs. Nevertheless, it was rather nice with roasted beetroot and Jerusalem artichokes, of which we still have lots. Time is running out to use the artichokes. They are still in the ground (it's the best place to store them) but spring is here and the tubers are starting to sprout. Meanwhile we still have lots of Tamworth pork sausages to use up but they can stay in the freezer for a while yet.
Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
